Wow, can't believe it's July already! The lilies are out in full force and adding so much colour to the yard.

Here are a few new lilies to bloom at my place.

This one's more apricot coloured than it shows in the picture...it's very pretty, I really like it.

Yay! Finally one that I can identify...'Lollipop'

This one's so bright it almost glows...love it!

And last but not least...

The daylily scapes are coming up so quickly, soon they'll be blooming too.:)

    Beautiful! Your #2 is 'Corrida', no question, I have it. I also think I have your #1 and #7 but I'll have to look them up.

    I have nothing new at the moment, will see what turns up later in the week.

    Laurie,

    You do have some wonderful lilies there!

    As the previous owners may have purchased from the Manitoba Regional Lily Society's lily sale each fall, most of the lilies in your yard might just be in the Lily Nook catalogue.

    I am thinking that your....

    #1 might be Pink Pixie. Is it a short one?

    Here is mine with new flowers and in the sun...

    I'm sure that #2 is Granny not Corrida. (Sorry, Gil). Corrida has no spots in the center of the flower. Granny has a light sprinkling of them. The older the flower, the more faded it gets. Granny is a TA. The Lily Nook's # is TA1017.

    #4...might be Cameleon?
    here's mine...

    or is it Gironde...here is the Lily Nook link....

    #6 looks similar to Milano, but your spots might be too large.

    Your #10...the one right after Lollipop, is it fairly short? I think it is Orange Pixie.

    Here is mine...

    Your last picture looks a bit like the Lily Nook's Prima Donna. What do you think?

    Good eye Brenda, I didn't notice the spots. It's crazy how much it looks like Corrida otherwise though. I agree the orange might be Orange Pixie, I used to have that one.

    I just realized #7 looks like a lily that came with my house and I have never found a name for. :/ Rats.

    I guess it's lily week at the Far North. My early ones popped this morning...

    This is the unknown I thought looked like Laurie's. Probably not the same but it ages to look more like it.

    Modern Style, increases really nicely for me:

    Another one that came with the house. Could have sworn this was Lollipop last year. Weird things happen in this flowerbed. :S

    Sugar Jewel

    And not a lily, Maltese Cross

    Marcia, your 'June Bug' is delightful!

    Funny thing - I seem to have a lot of 'I Forgots' too..:-)
